Weird results from searches (virus?)

[Only A Hobo]

4 or 5 hours ago I typed [name of artist]albw into the general search (usually I use the audio search) and got a pile of multi hosted mpeg(as I recall) files with no relation to my search whatsoever. there does seem to be some clever spamming going on

[limewireuserabuser]

Maybe limewire and other p2p networks should sue the recording industries for releasing virus into the networks. I am positive that 99% of these are made and released by the same people who are suing p2p networks.
Maybe by offering large rewards for information leading to the makers and/or distributors of these, this thing could get turned around, because it is also illegal for someone to make and/or distribute viruses.
Just a thought.

I have this exact same problem, and so does my partner (on a seperate computer in a seperate location).
Every video search brings up results with the following titles:

- smoking teenager sl*t getting (...)
- watch me f* my sl*tty teenager girlfriend (...)
- lusty 19 year old teenager (...)
- the c*mshot my teenager girlfriend never thought would (...)
- very s*xy teenager does ******l insertion (...)
- dorm room s*x with super hot coed teenager


The list goes on, but the results are always the same. There's about 20 separate filenames that keep coming up and they are always the same size (although this size may vary from serach to search)

I have been dealing with it by organizing search results by filesize, as the files are always too small to be any tYpe of genuine result. But I'd still like to know if there is a way to block them. They annoy me, and I don't feel like looking at "HOTTT HOTTT HOTT TEENAGERS BLAAAARGH!!!" every time I search for movies.

My first post. I am a new member. I tried to download what I thought was a legit movie (******* ** ** ******** *), but got a completely different movie. I also tried to download *** **** * with B***e W****s, but got some sort of porn. How do I kow which ones are the real deal so I don't waste my time and effort to get nothing?

Filter them out then. Use your Keyword filters. For LW 4 or FrostWire, Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Filters>Keywords & add the words .wmv & .jpg & remember you can add or remove keyword filters anytime so long as you use the Apply button. Also tick the Ignore Adult Content. See sample image: Adding to your Keyword Filter (click on this blue link). This includes instructions for both LW 4 & 5.

If you're using LW 5, you'll find the keyword filter in a different place. LW's menu bar, Tools > Options > Search, OR (if using LW 5.3 or earlier) tools > options > security. . . Click on the 'Filter Keywords' button. Now add whatever keywords to the list & click ok. Can add extensions separately in that section. Once that page has closed, click ok on the larger options page as well. (See sample image for LW 5 in above link)

Any extensions you add to the LW 5 extension filter will also prevent you sharing files with such file extensions. Instead you can use the keyword filter with a dot in front of it, example: .wma

You might want to add a few more keywords such as slut, teenager, etc.

A full list of terms you can add to the filter to eradicate porn search results: click on Text attachment below called BANNED_WORDS. (This file will open up formatted properly in WordPad & TextEdit, do NOT open the text document in Notepad!!!)
(be wary of some of these words, they may clash with what you are searching for, so they can be added & removed as you need.)

The filter-words from the following page link have already been added to the text attachment below: Keywords worth adding to your Keyword Filter. These words include different types of spam: porn, advertisements, trojan-music/videos, etc.

Click attachment to download. Open with WordPad or TextEdit or a superior word processing program! (Reiterating, do not open the text document with Notepad! Notepad is too basic to read the formatting. A hopeless piece of programming by M$! lol) Banned Words updated 7 December 2010.

I've been having this same problem for the past few days and actually came onto this forum just to find out how to stop it. Thank you to all who posted solutions.

[parsons83]

thank you so much for your reply, it is very much appreciated. All sorted now.

[fclyne]

Thank you for the helpful tip on blocking porny spam. It has worked a treat. This is an excellent file sharing site - to be recomended.

[Hana_Bloom]

Im have closed all adult searches(on setup)
But Im getting files of FREE iPOD NANO,file of 134,4 kb size and more.......

[Sleepless]

same deal. add ipod nano to the keywordfilter

[phuk]

So by the size of the file, it looks like it's not really even porn?

[yankeespy]

Watch it PHUK ... they may tell you that size doesn't matter but it does... OH! the size of the file that is... I find that I get a lot of crap from searches which are about 108KB. They have a guy that sounds like Clinton saying her never touched the girl or paid for one but you can ....... and the ad goes on.....

[Lord of the Rings]

Those clinton digitised audio files are very easy & quick to filter out using the junk filter. Apply the junk filter to it in 1-3 search results & you should be rid of it. More about this particular file here autogenerated mp3 spam results

BTW I would also recommend adding sponsored to your keyword filters. This is why: "Sponsored Results" (click on link) Doing this will also rid of these types of files.

[tanladybarb]

thanks alot i will try it now

Whilst I gave that advice many months ago, now you need to be wary of fake file results;

Beware of search results where there's say 100 or one, 99 for the next, etc. These are highly possibly spammed fake files. You'll never downld them. Instead, look for those with 10 or 20 or so sources under the # column of the search results.
